Latest guides and insights
Practical advice on treatments, recovery and travel, written for patients planning their treatment in Turkey.
Planning your tummy tuck trip, day by day
Aesthetic
How Long Should You Stay in Turkey After a Tummy Tuck?
Most patients need 7 to 10 days before flying home. Here is what happens each day, why the timing matters and how to plan your trip.
FUE or DHI? How the two techniques really differ
Hair Transplant
FUE vs DHI Hair Transplant: Which Technique Is Right for You?
Both techniques use the same extraction method. The real difference is how the grafts are implanted, and that affects which one suits your hair loss.
Sleeve or bypass? Understanding your options
Weight Loss
Gastric Sleeve vs Gastric Bypass: How to Choose the Right Weight-Loss Surgery
Both operations are effective, but they work differently and suit different people. Compare how they work, the risks and what life looks like afterwards.
FAQ
Questions patients ask us
Velsa is a medical travel company in Turkey. We help patients from the UK, Europe and the USA plan aesthetic surgery, hair transplant, dental and weight-loss treatment, and arrange the hospital, hotel, transfers and aftercare around it.
We offer four specialities: aesthetic surgery (such as tummy tuck, rhinoplasty and breast surgery), hair transplant (FUE, DHI and Sapphire FUE), dental treatment (veneers, crowns and implants) and weight-loss treatment (gastric sleeve, bypass and gastric balloon).
Yes. Your coordinator and our team communicate with you in English from your first message, throughout your stay and during your recovery at home.
With Velsa you know your named surgeon and their experience before you book, you receive a written all-inclusive quote, and one English-speaking coordinator looks after you from your first message to your final check-up. Your hotel, airport transfers and hospital stay are arranged for you, your stay is planned around your surgeon's fit-to-fly advice, and we follow your recovery after you fly home.
Packages usually include your treatment, any hospital stay, hotel accommodation, airport transfers and an English-speaking coordinator. Your written quote shows exactly what is included before you book.

Yes. Your online consultation, treatment plan and written quote are free, with no obligation to book.
It depends on the treatment: about three nights for a hair transplant, 5–7 days for a Hollywood smile, about 7 days for a gastric sleeve and 7–10 days for a tummy tuck.
Your surgeon confirms when you are fit to fly. After major surgery such as a tummy tuck, UK guidance from the NHS and BAAPS is to wait 7 to 10 days before flying.
Yes. Many patients bring a partner, friend or family member. Tell us when you ask for your quote and we will include them in your hotel and transfer plans.
Safety depends on choosing a qualified surgeon, a well-equipped hospital, enough time to recover before flying and proper aftercare. We share your surgeon's details before you book, plan your stay around fit-to-fly advice and follow your recovery after you return home.
Your coordinator stays in touch while you recover. You can share progress photos and questions with your coordinator and surgeon, and we recommend telling your GP or doctor about your treatment.
Send us a message on WhatsApp or fill in the consultation form. Share a few photos and your medical history, and our team will prepare a free treatment plan and written quote, with no obligation.
